In an article on the Titans' website, Keano Kini expressed his delight at being handed the prestigious No.
1 jersey for the upcoming clash against the Dragons.
The young star, however, remained grounded and acknowledged that he is merely holding the position until Jayden Campbell returns from injury.
Kini has been given the responsibility of guarding the last line of defense due to Campbell's ongoing rehabilitation for a dislocated patella.
Refusing to make audacious claims, Kini is content in his role as a temporary replacement.
After an impressive debut in 2023, the Palm Beach Currumbin talent has gained valuable experience in his first pre-season under the guidance of coach Des Hasler.
The rigorous training sessions and a demanding trial against a strong Parramatta side have prepared Kini for the challenges he will face when he takes the field.
Though he may wear the No.
1 jersey for now, Kini remains eager to learn from his more experienced teammate and is determined to contribute to the team's success.
